Silsilah as-Sahihah 2432 — Virtue of gentleness

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Shall I not inform you about a person upon whom the Fire is forbidden, or the Fire which is forbidden upon him? He is the one who is close to people, gentle, and easy-going."
